It's such a small town, yet it produced three cult classics...

You completely overlooked Colony, you poor soul...🙂 😬

I was at the concert and honestly... I went through some serious emotional waves—you know how it goes 😁.

Here is the breakdown of how it all went down:

They are phenomenal—just truly, genuinely phenomenal 🙂

Is anyone else dealing with this headache?
Lucky ones 😁

I first noticed this right after attending that rather underwhelming The Beatles concert...

Between my legs swelling up for the next couple of days, those morning calf cramps, and that general sensation of having "heavy" limbs—it all felt a bit off regarding my right foot.
Basically, when I’m walking barefoot around the apartment, you know how it should feel? You usually feel the toes, the ball of the foot just below the toes, and the heel.
But the day after the show, I started feeling the actual arch of my right foot against the floor too.
At first, I assumed it was just some lingering swelling that would eventually subside, but that was eight days ago...
Is it actually possible for your foot to just... drop suddenly?
😕

A few more observations from my side.
I simply cannot stand wearing dark sunglasses—I always get this sensation like my eyes are going to pop out from the sheer strain and nausea caused by how much the darkness bothers me.

The second thing concerns those tired eyes of mine. It’s most pronounced in the morning and carries through the day... right up until the moment I clock out of work (my eyes certainly know when it's time to start messing around 😁 ).

Jessica Fox40 said:Have you actually tried it yet?? Does it even work????😕

I have... and let me tell you, it's just oil. 😁 It’s greasy—honestly, it takes hours to even sink in 😁

Does it work? Well, I haven't developed a single stretch mark so far, so I can't really say... 😁

That said, applying oils is generally a good idea—especially when your skin feels tight from being out in the sun. I'm sure it will stay more elastic if you occasionally massage it in with some high-quality body oil 😉

I managed to get my hands on some Johnson & Johnson (Hautel) oil—though I haven't quite figured out the exact ingredients yet.
It set me back about four bucks...🙂

Linda Peterson said:There was this period—hours at a time, stretching over several months—where I was working intensely on my laptop, and the exact same thing started happening to me. This indescribable eye fatigue... it felt like the weight of the entire world was pressing down on my eyelids. My head would ache, my eyes would sting, they’d get all red... it’s actually pretty typical for flat-screen computers. I don't know what kind of setup you're using, but in my case, the issues eventually escalated into conjunctivitis. My vision is otherwise excellent—my last checkup was just a year ago—and I don't have any trouble when I'm using a standard desktop monitor. Once I moved away from the laptop, the problems vanished.

I am aware that there are non-prescription glasses specifically designed for computer use; some people I know swear by them, but I wasn't willing to take the risk since they are essentially $200 and you have to replace them every few months anyway.

Also, the lighting hitting your monitor and your distance from the screen are incredibly important factors.

By the way—I don't know if you're on birth control (the pill), but just a small hint: those can sometimes cause temporary vision changes.

Mine isn't a flat screen, but it's true that for the past few weeks, my eyes have been itchy and stinging.
My vision is fine, just the same as before—it's just that exhaustion and occasional blurring...

I am on the pill. Hmm... 🤔

Jacob Johnson70 said:I actually lost my vision back in high school—mostly because I spent all my time reading by the dim light of a bedside lamp...

🙂

By the way, there’s another little issue I tend to just ignore...
When I go to the movie theater, I always make sure to sit in the very last three rows. If I'm sitting too close, I start getting incredibly anxious 😁 (essentially, if the screen isn't at a distance where I can actually see it clearly, I lose it)

Betty Rivera14 said:It isn't a computer issue.

Well, I can't say the TV isn't acting up too... 🥳

I think I'll head over to my aunt's place—she's an ophthalmologist—and let her take a look at things with her own two eyes... 😁

Dana Allen3 said:Maybe I can find some loophole to dodge the draft because of this...😬 😛

Yeah, right... 😁

Melissa Anderson72 said:And why wouldn't you just head over to the optometrist so they can give you a proper look-see?

If I do... though I’m fairly certain that over the years, I’ve put in more hours on the computer than you ever have—so, really, I’m just paying my dues...😁

jimmy jazz said:Look, just keep practicing right in front of the computer, and maybe you'll actually get better at this!

🙂

Go outside and call for rain.

"Hey, person, hey person
Tell me something
In all your days on this earth
Have you ever seen a lady more stunning than mine?"

I assume you’ve caught on by now—we’re talking about the daily grind of staring at a computer screen for, say, fifteen hours a day on average.
It’s mandatory for work.
And it’s equally mandatory for my own deep dives and personal interests 😁 (especially over the last month or so).

So, naturally, for the past few days, my vision has been going completely blurry... everything is just a haze.
What to do?
Should I go see an ophthalmologist? Probably.
Or maybe just buy some blue-light glasses for staring at the computer?

And I had such a great sight 😢

Since I can't seem to find any answers over at the Women's Corner—it’s apparently too taboo for them—I figured I’d try my luck here:

So, I finally went to get a tan yesterday for the first time in three years... just a light session, nothing crazy.

While I was waiting for my friend, I picked up a magazine and stumbled upon this bit about tanning beds. It claimed that people with certain predispositions—like those prone to cancer—should stay far away from tanning salons. They also mentioned people with diabetes should avoid them.
Then, there was a note saying anyone on oral contraceptives shouldn't be using tanning beds either.
The thing is, they didn't bother to explain the "why"—no mention of the actual risks, the consequences, or anything else useful.

Does anyone actually know the science behind this?

Tyler Grant86 said:It all traces back to the Pixies...

Well... now...
If you ask me, this whole trend started a long time ago—and honestly, the Pixies were one of those bands that never stood a chance against the infection...

stormycyclist13 said:What's going on?

What's up?
Just check your damn inbox, for crying out loud... 😛 😁

Watching a movie at the theater without any trailers is like jumping straight into sex without any foreplay.😁

I have actually experienced this TWICE now😲—where the feature film starts immediately, without a single preview!

I was left completely shell-shocked. My first instinct was to storm out, demand a refund, and pick a fight with the staff... but fortunately, some decent people stepped in to stop me.😁

Sitting at a computer all day...
Are we talking about the impact within a single day, or how this stuff adds up over several years?

About a year ago, I basically morphed into the shape of a lowercase "u"—there isn’t a single inch of my back that doesn't ache. I really ought to start being more active with some kind of recreation, but instead, I spend hours staring at a screen, which just absolutely nukes my ability to concentrate. To make matters worse, my right hand already went through six weeks of physical therapy two years ago because of tendonitis...

What else should I be worried about? 😁

And I’ve heard about Buckleyev 😁

I've certainly come across the name Jeff Buckley before, but honestly—who the hell is Jeff Buckley actually 😁
